On Thursday morning, the State called its second witness to the stand, Sergeant Patrick Mlungisi Mthethwa, who was the first police officer to respond to the crime scene.
In opposing a postponement in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, Advocate Malesela Teffo has now claimed that the wrong court is hearing the trial, challenging the jurisdiction, and further claiming two of the accused were arrested and detained unlawfully.
While the cross-examination of the State's first witness in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial has not yet been concluded, the defence team representing four of the accused have already revealed their intention to bring an application to have the case discharged.
The first forensic expert to arrive on the crime scene where Senzo Meyiwa was murdered did not perform gunshot residue tests on the people who were present when the former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper was shot.
